A tip to help say goodbye to bygone bibelots!     posted on 21st of december, 2007

When it's time to clean out vintage clutter, take a picture, then say bon voyage!

Some things sit in storage for years, and seem so precious when we take them out to relive the memories once in a blue moon.

I regret getting rid of some things that I held on to for so many years... I wish I had my camera then!

Merry Christmas Leda and Rob!!! Last night I did a people photo shoot, it was soooooo much fun!!! I just pulled out tons and tons of old things, and I feel overloaded. I love to keep a spotless house. Now, I'm leaving a pile of junk near my photo studio, the old me would throw it away in a heart beat, the new me, is letting it sit there waiting to be photographed and then sold or donated to charity... I hope you're having lots of fun and creating lots and lots of art!!!!! - posted by Loveliestdreams on December 25, 2007
Also I dislikes throwing the old memories away ... actually, I do not do it, for many things a beautiful photography would not be enough! Merry Christmas and happy 2008 Leda - posted by Leda_d on December 24, 2007
Hi Shockie! I'm agree with you. Sometimes we can rediscover something forgotten and see it with new eyes. Maybe it's the passage of time, maybe it's nostalgia, but it's sublime. It's the life. I love it! - posted by Roberto1977 on December 24, 2007

BBW Collection     posted on 27th of december, 2007

I think we're in need of some more big beautiful women (stock) here! America is big, and I am not seeing as much bbw photography glorified in a glamorous light here as I thought I would. In the next week or so, I'm posting my own full-figure pics to the site...

I advertise a plus size dating site through google adwords and overture, and when I went to search for quality voluptuous stock splash to post on the front of the site, I couldn't find much or what I wanted. Yet, there are so many gorgeous overweight people out there, where are they all hiding? Are they that camera shy? I would really hope this does not lead to a debate about health... I'm just a humble 'size acceptance' advocate...

So I made a collection of the ones here on dreamstime I could find, they're ...

I really agree..is a great idea, and I love it..I'm a little(:D) overweigth and sooo beautifull! LOL - posted by Dabobabo on January 03, 2008
I agree with you. We Americans (even some of the "normal" sized people) are still a bit over overweight and there are some beautiful plus sized people walking around. That should be a new Dreamstime contest. Capture BBW (and men?) in flattering scenes. =) - posted by Asw4303 on January 03, 2008

Online photography schools     posted on 27th of december, 2007

I'd love to know if anyone else has tried online photography schools? I have had great experiences and feedback. I'd love to know of recommended schools... I recommend, ppsop.com

Next, I'm signed up for a conceptual photography class with them in the beginning of January, lasting for a month.

They also have a great class on stock photography, but it's in session right now. It's a bit pricey. around $2000, maybe a bit less... it gives students the opportunity to get signed with cobis, getty and other exclusive stock agencies.

I am looking into taking classes at sessions.edu

Thats very cool, are you planning to do interior design? Or become an architect? There is another school I want to take classes from, there are more international students attending, it's called sessions.edu they have tons of digital media classes, they have a lot of business oriented classes in photography and design that I like. - posted by Loveliestdreams on December 28, 2007
I study architecture and interior, but my photos don't have anything in common with my studies. It's an art school I go to, and it also has Photography. But as I go in the hallway and look at those pictures on the wall I have to say you will not learn any good from those classes so I decided not to follow photography. Getting positive or negative comments on your works is always a good thing, because you can see what is good and what not. It makes you alert the next time you takes photos. I am a very good critique a friend once said because I even say both positive and negative things about my photos. I've helped that friend quite well. But as I'm not one of those people who like to read, I'm not sure weither the online schools would do well for me. I'll read things because I'm curious but I never use it. I've always just tried it out and if it worked it worked, if it didn't I tried again. - posted by Bimmergirl on December 27, 2007
Hi Bimmergirl. I think most people would say that we can learn enough online from free tutorials. but, I like the classes because they're challenging. They have deadlines, creative assignments, brutally honest criticism... but we have that here, and we don't have to pay! I like the group activity and critiques from the instructors and students. In my last class, a funny thing happened... a woman submitted a photo she captured at dog park, of 5 whippet breeds, playing together. 3 were lined up, each dog with it's head to the one in fronts back. The other 2 were on the opposite side, running toward them. The only problem was, the dog in the middle of the huddle, had an erection! Which made the scene, look like a menage a trois... And one of the students commented, "now that is quite indicative of dogs, to play like that". And then she apologized for seeming rude or crude. The photographer hated the comment and said wow you are rude, and she refused to believe there was any ... More) - posted by Loveliestdreams on December 27, 2007
